Intercultural Learning Lab
Strengthening Global Connections.
Building Civic Muscle.
Reimagining the Shared Story of Democracy.
Our Intercultural Learning Lab expands current thinking about civic engagement beyond any single country's borders. Our current project is the BRAZILIAN BLUEPRINT.
We believe that it is in the United States’ national interest to move beyond Eurocentric comparisons and embrace South-North learning—centering Brazil as a democratic peer, not just a case study. Our two nations have much to learn from one another—and much work to do together.
Our vision: A resilient, inclusive, and interconnected democratic culture across the Americas, rooted in mutual learning, civic imagination and civic action, and solidarity between Brazil and the United States.

We know that advocacy is nothing without a strong, stable, and functioning democracy. Democracy is not static but something that must be defended and reimagined.
In other words, democracy is both a VERB and a STORY.
As such, we are committed to bolstering democratic resilience - with a particular focus on democratic pluralism and democratic culture - through cross-cultural learning, community building, and storytelling, including amplifying the work and stories of the Brazilian people beyond the borders of Brazil.
We are currently building anchor partnerships in Brazil with leading civil society organizations.
While intercultural exchanges touch on myriad issues, we focus on four areas in particular:
Equal Treatment Under the Law
Electoral Integrity/Voting Processes
Trusted Information
Social Cohesion
